Rise Somatic Therapy

Trauma-informed virtual therapy for adolescents and adults in Kansas and Missouri, with Marie Clifton, LCSW, LSCSW.

Healing isn't always about finding the right words or thinking your way through an experience. Sometimes it begins by learning to listen to what your body has been communicating all along.

Welcome to Rise

A space to explore, understand, and reconnect with yourself.

Rise Somatic Therapy was created from a belief that meaningful therapy honors the whole person — mind, body, emotions, relationships, and lived experiences.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I believe you are the expert on your own experience, and therapy should provide space to explore, understand, and reconnect with yourself without judgment.
